Burma (Myanmar)

Burma (renamed Myanmar in 1989 by the military junta, although this name is not generally used in the US, UK and many other english-speaking parts of the world) is divided into seven states and seven regions, formerly (before August 2010) called divisions. Generally speaking, states are semi-autonomous areas allocated to particular ethnic groups.

The administrative divisions are further subdivided into districts, which are further subdivided into townships, wards, and villages.


Note: it is currently not allowed to take out any uncut (rough) stones from Burma. For cut stones, a permit is needed.
